Import performance increase

[kostenickj]

Hi, I don't expect you too use this PR directly, because I think it probably messes things up further down the import pipeline (stuff i don't personally use), but you should consider looking at the code and integrating it in some way.

This massively increases the performance of the importer when importing a gen8 character with a lot of morphs.

The main issue causing a slow is deleting the eyelash morphs after joining the eyelash and body meshes. This is extremely slow and was taking 1+ hour (and still running before i cancelled it) on my machine because blender only lets you delete 1 at a time. You can get around this by naming the eyelash morphs and body morphs the same on each object and THEN joining the objects together. Blender will automatically combine the morphs and you no longer have to delete eyelash morphs. This massively improved performance. I only tested this on gen8 base female so far.

Hope this helps.

With this change to the code it imports in around 5 minutes instead of 1+ hours for me.

Hey there,
Wow, to say that we were excited to see this post is an understatement! I just wanted to reach out to you personally and let you know that there is actually a development team internally at Daz doing the testing and putting together bridge support, and this has gone a long way in helping us continue this support!
One of our plugin devs will be reviewing this and will see what we should add to the bridge. Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot this problem

That's great to hear, I have a lot of experience with the quirks of blender over the years. Let me know if I can assist.
